Lost at sea
As I woke up one normal morning to the sound of the calming waves and the cries of the morning sea gulls above, I knew today was going to be an adventures one. I went to explore all around my new world looking for others of my kind, but had no luck. There were no sea turtles in sight. I live in the Barrier reef at coral bay with the nautilus and cuttle fish. It seemed to be the place you would find a sea turtle but I guess it wasn't because there was none but me. When a sea turtle egg is layed its an instinct to hatch and follow the moon to the open sea to find others,but I hatched late and my brothers and sisters were already gone. Every day I get up and travel around the wonders of the sea looking for others but never have luck. But today seemed lucky! Today I was going to find them. I left the barrier reef in search of some food so I swam toward the fringing reef where the best kelp and other good foods where and had a satisfying breakfast. The only thing about this reef was you have to be careful. If your not you could get taken by the human kind and never return. When I went out into the ocean to find others I saw something in the distance. It seemed dark and mysterious. I know my instinct told me I shouldn't but I had to see what it was. So I traveled over and it was an oceanic trench. One of the biggest I had ever seen! I must have been 10,000 feet deep! I had to check it out to see what was down there. Who knows it could even be other sea turtles. So I started to travel down and as I got further it got darker and much colder. But I saw a little light it was so bright and pretty I just wanted to see what it was. It started to move and I tried to catch it but it was fast. Finally I grab it and there it was the scariest thing I have ever seen,an angler fish! It swam at lightning speed trying to catch me and I knew this was the end! But then I saw another thing, a brighter light it was an exit! Joy came to my mind and I darted toward it with excitement and noticed it was gone, the angler fish was gone out of sight! So I calmed down and rested on a bed of sea kelp and just dreamed of finding more sea turtles. I didn't know where I was and was scared. Something scary may find me before I get home. I didn't know how long I was asleep,all I knew was I was moving. But I don't remember leaving the kelp bed. I woke up to find what I was laying on was moving I looked closer at it and there it was I was on the back of a mother sea turtle! With joy I look around to see not only her but millions of them! They were all in a current going to warmer waters. Finally I knew I found my true home.
